Khosla Invests in Social TV Startup Miso in a Four Million Dollar Round
Social TV service Miso has raised a new $4 million round of funding, the startup announced on its blog late last week.
...we’re excited to announce that we’re bringing on Khosla Ventures as a new investor in Miso as a part of an additional $4M in financing. Khosla Ventures led the round with Google Ventures and Hearst Interactive Media, and to date we have raised $6M.
Khosla Ventures is known for its reputation for building great companies, such as Square and Meebo, and we’re excited to be a part of that same roster. We’re grateful for the rare opportunity to learn from Vinod Khosla, one of the greatest investors, product thinkers, team builders and entrepreneur over the last few decades.
“People are changing the way they watch television. They are also on their phones and tablets, and this creates new opportunities for innovation in the second screen space. We feel that Miso is leading the way.” –Vinod Khosla
For the next year, we’re confident that with his leadership and working with the Khosla team we’ll grow our unique community of a quarter-million strong to tens of millions and much more.
Founded in March 2010, the San Francisco, Calif.-based startup previously raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from Google Ventures, Keith Rabois, YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim, and early Google employees Georges Harik, Richard Chen, Thomas Korte and Kurt Abrahamson.
